Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPavel Stishenko is a senior researcher and software engineer with a PhD in mathematical modeling who has spent the last decade building simulation toolkits and software to tackle computational materials-science problems. He led development of the SuSMoST surface science toolkit and later moved to Cardiff to design a memory- and data-transfer-conscious C API and Python wrappers for DFT codes (FHI-aims, DFTB+), enabling ML integrations and QM/MM workflows. His work spans algorithm design, high-performance HPC engineering, and practical modeling of catalysts, including contributions to implicit solvent models and active-learning acceleration of DFT. Comfortable switching between low-level C, Python, and domain-specific modeling, he pairs rigorous numerical methods with production-ready software and has a track record of translating academic models into widely used tools. An underappreciated strength is his knack for exploiting sparsity and distributed matrix layouts to squeeze performance and memory gains in large-scale electronic-structure workflows.
